What does the prefix 'post-' signify?

  1. Before, previous

  2. Upon

  3. After, following

  4. Out

The correct answer is: After, following

The prefix 'post-' signifies something that occurs after or following an event. This prefix is derived from Latin, where it literally translates to 'after.' It is commonly used in various words to denote something that comes later in time or sequence, such as 'postpone' (to delay until after the original time) or 'post-war' (referring to the period following a war). This understanding of 'post-' as indicating a subsequent occurrence or position is crucial in comprehending the meanings of words that contain this prefix.
